Familial Mediterranean fever

: For Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF), Sanger DNA sequencing is employed to detect point mutations in the MEFV gene. This method is effective in identifying a range of mutations responsible for the disease, including the common ones found in affected populations. In regions with a high prevalence of FMF, such as among individuals of Mediterranean descent, allele-specific PCR may also be utilized to target specific mutations, facilitating quicker diagnosis.
